I'm sorry if this has been discussed recently, I know there's a subreddit but it's from 3 years ago. I am currently a working actor based out of San Francisco. My husband has a new job in Chattanooga, TN which is a 2 hour drive from Atlanta. I'm trying to figure out if this would be a good career move to be near a larg…

I think that I have a very strong voice, good hearing for minor details and ability to improve. How do I become a voice actor? The only experience I have is repeating ads for fun.

In life, quite a few people base their lives/conform to what they see on television. Some get their attitudes from movies (try to be like a certain character in real life), and some just find their only time to truly relax is when watching movies/TV shows But what's funny, is that, even till this day, those same people…

Was it, is it standard? Just in case the film hits. Most don't. Example would be the group of actors in Biff's gang in Back To The Future. Whenever on TV was always curious if they received residuals. Also 1985 was the boom for VHS sales. BTTF probably made another 50-100 million on this.

Long story short: I am an autistic actor and I want to inspire people like me but I don’t know how to let my autism shine. I am an autistic actor (25F) and since I have gotten my diagnosis last year, I have been trying to learn more about autism. I found out there are very few well known autistic actors in my province…

I used to be an actor, made a living at it. I chose a different direction though considering going back now that I am back on the west coast.

I mean I’m not an auditioning actor and I cringe when I watch myself back too but self-tapes seem like a savior to me because it seems like it would allow you to have Both a stable day job and an acting career!

Recently, I did a scene on set where I could tell the producers/showrunners weren’t super super happy with the performance I was giving, but the Director seemed to receive it positively at first. I could see the Director/Producer talking a couple of times, and from what I could make out, it seemed like they disagreed o…

Hello, again! I got such a helpful response on my last post that I've decided to reach out for help again. I recently booked my first lead role in a feature film. The budget for the film wasn't discussed but they sent me the daily pay rate. I was wondering is it possible for me to negotiate for a small percentage in sa…

I’m a Toronto based actor and several MOW productions and Network TV Movies shoot.

I have short scenes written for a reel. I have a good mic and an editing app. I have agencies I’d like to submit to. I have a photographer I’d like to do headshots.
